A Spring Sweater

I am counting down the days until spring arrives. I can’t wait to pack up my winter boots, jackets, and scarves. While spring doesn’t usually necessitate tank tops and flip flops, I do enjoy wearing beautiful pastel colored short sleeved shirts at this time. To stay warm during the cool spring mornings and nights, I often slip on a colorful sweater over my short sleeved blouse. Sweaters are a great way to bridge the gap in your wardrobe between the cold winter months and the hot summer months. If you currently don’t own any spring sweaters, now is a great time to stock up on them. On this blog, you will learn how to find the perfect sweaters to match your spring shirts. Enjoy!

New Apparel Designer? 2 Benefits of Using an Apparel Showroom

by Anna Obrien

If you are an apparel designer and just starting out, it can take time to get new clients to purchase your apparel. This can make it difficult to keep your business running if you do not have money coming in. To help with this problem, you should consider using an apparel showroom. Below are two benefits of doing this to help you decide if this would be right for you.

Help You Increase Sales

Because you are new to the apparel industry, you may not be experienced at sales. Even if you are, it takes a lot of time to do cold calling and visit potential buyers. To help with this, an apparel showroom can provide you with a coach that is experienced at selling apparel. The showroom will likely already have a good relationship with many buyers in your area, and these buyers trust the showroom's opinion.

The coach at the showroom will also guide you through selling your items so you can continue doing this in the future without their help. The coach will be beneficial in helping you with marketing your business and using the right marketing materials. They can also get feedback from your buyers for you so you know if you need to make some changes to your apparel and the way you run your business.

Help You Gain New Clients

One of the major things a showroom coach can do for you is to help you gain new clients. Once you obtain the clients, the showroom coach can help you build your buyer relationships. This will make acquiring a sale and going through the sales process go much quicker for you.

Once you gain your new clients, the coach can help you keep those clients happy so they will continue purchasing your apparel from you. This can build your apparel business quickly because if you keep your current clients happy they are likely to tell their associates about you.

Talk with a few showrooms in your area before you decide on one. There is a monthly fee that you will have to pay for their services and the space they provide to you for your apparel. What these fees are depends on the showroom that you hire. You should also make sure the showroom is large enough to hold all your clothing in an organized way. This will make it much easier for buyers to find what they're looking for when they are looking through your apparel.
